Eating Disorders
Following a rise in presentations of disordered eating, Healthy London Partnership worked closely with a group of experienced clinicians and experts by experience to develop a set of guiding principles for how to best support and meet the needs of this group.
Eating disorder-focused treatment and admission can often lead to an escalation in the presentation and a worsening clinical picture for those with disordered eating, and additionally, this cohort of young people often have underlying emotional dysregulation problems or neurodevelopmental difficulties such as Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC).
The group developed guidance and a series of resources to raise awareness of disordered eating and to improve care pathways to better meet the needs of young people with this presentation.
